Always love great demos, art and science pushing the limits of old hardware.

[@apefu]

Wow, I did not know you were into demos. Already a fan of your work, but this makes it a bit "extra".

[@TheRomanceOfMachines]

How do you find the time?

[@Nightshft42]

Exactly why I love fine demos too. The creators have to be a top coders _and_ _also_ great artists.

[@ylette]

Dude, you're into all the same things I am.

[@CockatooDude]

If anyone ever doubts your nerd credentials, now I have the proof in the pudding haha.

[@prlmonopol8270]

This demo is a real artistic masterpiece!! It's like soul to soul connection.

[@thomasgudmundsen778]

Wow. A500, 1mb. That's Insane. 👍

[@flype44]

1 year later, still totally amazed, atmosphere, cinematics, soundtrack, coding, originality, all is fabulous. Infinite kudos to the group.

[@RetroJay1974]

Loosing count of how many times I have replayed this! I downloaded the adf's from poeut so will be cracking out an A500 later. Last time I was like this was first seeing Kefrens demos back when I first got a 500 in 1991/2. The bit where the woman turns into the vector dancer gives me goosebumps every single time! TBL have just blown me away! Amazing stuff :D

[@EdgeOfPanic]

Superb demo it totally blew me away while watching it during Amiga demo compo at Revision! Too bad KZbin hasn't got an option to give it a double thumbs up.

[@lennybridgeman6634]

AMAZING!!! THE best Amiga demo I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing.

[@schneckenwerk4567]

This is SO TASTEFUL! Fantastic music here...good old Paula-Soundchip at its very best. THANK YOU for that wonderful demo.

[@rivet6403]

When I saw this on the stream I honestly thought "Nah this is AGA" Then I checked the notes and was absolutely blown away. Cheers guys, you've done it again :)

[@daren42]

Incredible. Gave me goosebumps.

[@teddyhansen3658]

how can you NOT love this... AWSOME WORK guys really love where you trace off the girl in the couch and then starts rotating around her . so freaking awsome

[@SaladrielAmrael]

Holy Moly.... TBL managed to squeeze that poor A500 like a lemon. Great Job!

[@DK-hy2fs]

More genius work from TBL and the best computer ever made !

[@scalliano]

This isn't a demo, it's a work of art.

[@2010skylightitalia]

Amiga back in the days, was an alien technology at our disposition :) , who knows that it should be nowdays

[@espenskog8745]

That was a very nicely done piece of work! I especially enjoyed the sorta "state-of-the-art tribute" in the end with the vector dancer.

It's great to see 'old' hardware kicking out this astonishing demo. always loved the demoscene on the amiga this is one of the many reasons. outstanding work by TBL!

[@orbánputyin]

Who could drop dislike on such a brilliant thing like this...

[@maxlasson6061]

Wait, this was A500? You- Wait… how?

[@rivet6403]

I saw this at first and I was like "Nah this is AGA... Wait is it? *Checks compo notes* WAIT HOW-"

[@GregDaniel78]

Imagine if a commercial Amiga release had just one of these effects (a 1/30th of the duration) as its intro. It would have been praised to the heavens. Amazing stuff.

[@trocoloco]

not just a demo but true art right there

[@AmigaLove]

Thanks for sharing this in this format, Károly

[@richardbacon5695]

Always love a demo, and this is a masterpiece.

[@LordmonkeyTRM]

Absolutely adore the art style and the presentation is flawless.

[@TheRomanceOfMachines]

Wow, just wow. Excellent choreography. Beat that...

[@retroredrum]

Amazing ! I will play it on the big screen at AmigaNorth next month for sure !

[@pbtungulu]

Mesmerizing.

Totalement impressionnant ! Dire que cette démo pourrait tourner sur un A1000 :) Only Amiga Makes it possible ... Je vais tout de suite faire tourner cette démo sur mon A500 + A501. ECS rulez

[@postexitus]

is that on an unaccelerated amiga500? how is the section after 4:25 even possible at 50 fps?

[@justinsaunders1459]

Skillz

[@crokocat]

count the triangles ;)

[@samgamgee3622]

I'm guessing: a) Only 3 bitplanes, b) Not much screen area covered, c) Not many triangles, d) Precomputed vertex positions.

[@JMDAmigaMusic]

Yeah, is more a vector animation than a 3D one

[@alxxz]

Awesome! Imagine releasing this back in 1985 when the AMIGA came out! The DEVs would have been burned at the stake for witch-craft! LoL! :D

TBL rulez! always!

[@evgenius123_]

I have A1200 and can't run it because of chipsets incompatibility... Are you solve bugs and features to run it on AGA?

[@Nightshft42]

Some people have been asking for a WhdLoad version - which should solve your problem - but as far I know there is none until now.

[@tanteedelgard1921]

Where to download? Pouet.net?

[@d_vibe-swe]

Real hardware = A1200/060? Amazing stuff!

[@chainq68k]

No, it was my Amiga 500, with 512KB chip + 512KB slow RAM, and two floppy disks.

[@d_vibe-swe]

@@chainq68k That is really impressive! Fast 3d engine!

[@l-ours]

j'adore

[@illegalquantity]

A good one. But in my opinion it would have been better without electric arcs. Maybe some flying things instead.

[@juhaszdaniel1975]

Damn lol.

[@AmigaRulez_parallax]

Demo było robione na Amidze czy emulator?

[@xAxCx]

Was the fluidity of the animation achieved by using color cycling?

[@d0dge947]

On one hand poly-streaming and on the other sub-pixel (faking), I guess. One thing is certain, though: in order to achieve the on-screen presence a lot of technical finesse and innovation had to be done on the backend side. That's where the coder-pr0n happened in this production.

[@LukaszBoguszFilm]

Magnificent demo !!! It has been great TBL's idea to limit themselves to AMIGA 500 1MB. I'm totally impressed ! It's one of the best demos ever made for A500. It reminds me of ANOTHER WORLD game intro. The only minus is average music here. It's not on the same level as visual side but unfortunately there are no good musicians on demoscene now. The demo is GREAT but it would be mind blowing if it has music on similar level as it was in legendary demos like ARTE/SANITY or DESERT DREAM/KEFRENS for example. Anyway I'm waiting for further TBL productions ! RESPECT GUYS !

[@grumpyoldgeezr]

What are you talking about, the music is stunning.

[@prlmonopol8270]

@@grumpyoldgeezr yes. One of the best.

[@noizepol]

I too really enjoyed the music. Very immersive.

[@SuperCer054Real]

Music was good

[@playnochat]

"The only minus is average music here. It's not on the same level as visual side but unfortunately there are no good musicians on demoscene now. " This is insulting with so many levels that I must response. Normally A500 can't play this music, because it hasn't enough memory. The samples are loaded and mixed on the fly while showing the demo at the full framerate at the same time. You may not like this tune, but this is exactly what TBL wanted. Dj Hoffman is perhaps the best musician at the scene right now and he can make any kind of music. 8-bit jungle. Amiga music disk full of jungle heaven/hell. You'll need unofficial patch to make this actually work on A500, because Hoffman isn't good coder. watch?v=--J66FY7qro Everyway. Hoffman's 64k intro for A500. watch?v=tshGRUDvsUs Exoframe. You are listening Amiga 4 channel doskpop in PC demo, but you wouldn't believe it. watch?v=PoAodHQJQwI Backscatter. Some dupstep in PC 40k intro. watch?v=2-7zCKYmQoM Makeshift. Some sid punishment in C64 4k intro. watch?v=AmDz_bP1XI4 Edit: Typos

[@HospesPL]

when Atari STe version ?:) From Amiga 1200 were converted to Atari Falcon. Now it's time to convert from A500 to Atari STE :D

[@chainq68k]

I have an STE too, so if it ever happens (I doubt), be sure that will be recorded as well. :P

[@d0dge947]

Since the AGA demos were essentially chunky-framebuffer demos and streamed music, porting was easier. In this case I'd be genuinely surprised if an STe port sees the light of day.

[@79yank]

@@chainq68k Maybe it'spossible but you will need more CPU power to convert the musical data into two channels.
